Laminate Flooring in Bootle
Laminate flooring is an extremely widely used selection of flooring due to its durability, ease of maintenance, and inexpensive price. A relatively recent addition to the market, laminate has rapidly grown in popularity as a substitute for real wood or stone floors. Laminate flooring is a type of artificial composite flooring made up of several layers, generally with a fibreboard core covered with a decorative layer featuring a printed image of the design, and then lastly protected with a wear layer that helps to protect the floor from scrapes and other types of damage. Because laminate floor includes a decorative layer that can incorporate any type of image, it comes in a huge variety of different styles to mimic the looks of many other styles of flooring like real wood or slate. While the majority of laminate floor includes a smooth top layer, it may in addition have embossed or textured effects which mimic other types of flooring. Laminate flooring is suitable for a wide range of rooms, but be cautious if you plan on installing it in a bathroom as specific moisture proofed laminate should be used. When choosing the right laminate for your house, decide on one with a suitable Abrasion Class (AC) rating, as this specificies the quantity of traffic the laminate is scored to perform well under. Laminate flooring is not too difficult to install because of its snap or click together design. However, it is usually time consuming to install a sizable amount of laminate, and also tricky to cut the planks to the precise size, as well as difficult to ensure that the correct underlay and damp proofing is fitted to suit your house. Specialist flooring companies can help you on the perfect laminate floor for your room, and guarantee that it is installed to the highest quality.
